Big Journalism

The mainstream media have increasingly fallen victim to pranks and hackings over the last several months.  The outcome has been a general readership that has repeatedly believed false statements presented by imposters as truth.  The incidents pose some disturbing and

Apparently Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler has decided to go the route of the thoroughly discredited Politifact and make a complete and public fool of himself — all, of course, in a crusade to protect Barack Obama. In today’s Post,

NBC was forced to apologize as cries of racism were leveled against the network after airing an ad featuring a monkey seconds after African American Olympian Gabby Douglas won the gold for gymnastics. This is amusing seeing as how the

I almost….almost could not believe what I was seeing. ABC Good Morning America anchors celebrating the “Crip Walk.” Oh, I understand funny, silly, happy-talk news, but this was over the top. I’m guessing you don’t have to be a brilliant ABC

Now that Mitt Romney’s trip abroad has wound down, an assessment of its coverage can be made, and the final word is negativity. The Old Media was mostly negative about Romney’s trip. This is quite a contrast to the glowing

Political news site Politico is not done needling Ann Romney for having a top-rated horse in the Olympics, apparently. Witness an actual Politico headline: 10 things to know about Rafalca. Most of the “ten things” are just facts about the

Man alive, where does CNN find these awful anchors? Somewhere in MediaVille there must be an ad that reads: Collapsing network seeks smug, sanctimonious unknowns. Must be a completely unlikable Leftist absolutely incapable of hiding a political agenda. Soledad O’Brien?

***UPDATE: Via Twitter, I’m being told I’m wrong and that Jameson’s support for Romney is sincere. A look at her Twitter feed backs that up. Well, with friends like these… It’s still a damaging endorsement, especially the quote about millionaires, and

When Media Matters helped organize the Stop Rush boycott pressuring corporations to pull advertisements from Rush Limbaugh’s show, the online file storage company Carbonite was one of the first big names to give in.  Now, as William Jacobson of the

“Legitimate Voters Blocked by Photo ID Laws” read the headline of a July 10 Associated Press article. Sounds pretty damning. It turns out, though, that the article lacked key information about two Indiana voters that might have changed the whole

Marketplace, the business program produced by American Public Media and heard on public radio stations across the nation, pronounced the latest unemployment report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics “really good” in spite of a rise in unemployment from 8.2%

That headline is not made up, it comes from a quote from the very same Associated Press that just last week completely fabricated Mitt Romney’s Palestinian ‘gaffe’. Today the AP is spinning a rise in unemployment and a measly 165,000

Announcement! Announcement! We are at war with Eastasia today! Announcement! Announcement! We are at war with Eurasia today! I mean, Easta– I mean-, Eur- Oh, screw it — Vote for Obama! Unemployment increased today for the second time in just

With a rising unemployment rate set to dent President Barack Obama’s re-election efforts, the mainstream media is about to go into full-spin mode. They can take their cues from the Bureau of Labor Statistics itself, which announced that the jobless

Let’s see if the media will do its job here. I have no delusions it will. Democrat Senator Harry Reid has made the insane allegations that Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney did not pay any taxes for 10 years. Reid

Due to a lack of reading comprehension and desire to deal in truth, progressive websites have for days peddled the lie that Chick-Fil-A supported the Family Research Council’s support of legislation which OK’d gay-killing in Uganda. A lie that took

The late Andrew Breitbart legendarily confronted anti-capitalist protesters in rollerblades and invited them to Applebee’s, the irony seemingly lost on those who followed him to the restaurant.  “This is a protest against capitalism, against libertarianism, against the free market,” Breitbart

Adam Smith, the man who videotaped himself getting free water at a Chick-Fil-A drive-thru just to berate the young woman serving him has been fired.  Smith in his video said he was happy to feel “purposeful” in condemning the Chick-Fil-A

While the mainstream American media posed the senseless question of whether Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney made a “gaffe” by praising Israeli culture on his overseas trip this week, the Hebrew-language Hadshot USA, “the Israeli newspaper in Los Angeles,” suggests

Over at the anti-gay BuzzFeed Politics, a couple of its writers pretended to know what the next phase of Romney’s game-plan is, but in doing so, dropped this juicy nugget today [emphasis mine]: The trouble [for the Romney campaign] began

National Public Radio (NPR) is apparently moving from news to full-time, taxpayer-funded Super PAC-style advertising for President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign. That is apparent from today’s report by Ari Shapiro on Obama’s campaign appearances in Ohio, where the president–who maintains

Other than answering a question about the Olympics honestly but less diplomatically than he might have, Mitt Romney’s overseas trip was a pretty big win. But the corrupt media knows that, in order for their failed president to win a

In a wide-ranging interview with FNC’s Eric Bolling yesterday, Governor Sarah Palin said that the Romney camp has been in touch regarding the convention, but that nothing is yet confirmed. She also said that she “just want[s] to help” and,

The headline of the Internet version of a Washington Post story about the shooting sports at the Olympics asserts that “even at the Olympics” the Olympians face questions about gun violence. Yet, upon reading the article, it is clear that

This is as automatic as the debt-ceiling growing under Barack Obama. The media will hate Romney’s choice for Vice President.  It does not matter whom Mitt Romney chooses; this person will be hated, despised, and compared to Sarah Palin. There
